The Roddis Collection: American Style and Spirit

See more than 100 years of fashion unveiled through twenty-six unique garments dating from 1880 to 1991. From stunning haute couture evening gowns to everyday wear, this amazing collection of women's clothing was purchased and worn by six generations of the Roddis family of Marshfield, Wisconsin. It is both a time capsule of American fashion and a remarkable story about individual expression and taste set against the backdrop of a small town in Wisconsin. This exhibition will feature garments from The Henry Ford’s collection as well as several loaned by Roddis relatives, including dresses by Helga, Galanos, Yves St. Laurent, Nina Ricci, and Murray Arbeid.
